If you stir-fry or grill kimchee on your stove top open windows and doors. I once grilled very spicy cabbage kimchee and the kitchen filled with hot spicy air which made my face feel like it was burning and my eyes water. But the kimchee was very tasty.

No fear re my cooking kimchee in my kitchen! Actually, these days, I never cook -- heck, I don't even own a toaster and microwave here in Hong Kong! :D

Hi ewaffle --

Indeed, Korean BBQ is so wonderful -- so much so that my mother and I had it for three of the four dinners that we ate together while in Korea, and I worry that the food pictures from there would all start looking too similar. ;S
